Abstract

In this work, we will compare three approaches on measuring the overlap of datasets. Different research areas lead to differing definitions and interpretations of overlap. We will discuss the differences, advantages and disadvantages of three methods which were all introduced in different research fields. Coming from a medical, a cryptographical and a statistical background, all three methods show interesting aspects of overlap. Even though quite differently defined, all three show reasonably interpretable results in simulations and data example.
